September Home Maintenance List

September 05, 2017

Before the temperature starts dropping, you’ll want to make sure you do these four things to get your house ready for fall!

Heating System Checkup

Have your heating system checked by a licensed heating service provider. Heating systems will use fuel more efficiently, last longer and have fewer problems if properly serviced. Have your system checked before the temps drop — the worst time to find out you have a problem is the first freeze.

Check for Cracked Windows:

Change your Filters:

Air filters should be changed out seasonally (consider changing them more often if you have pets or family members with seasonal allergies). Have your furnace filter changed out as well. Josh Lansdale, owner of Maid Exclusive in Kansas City, had this great tip on something to look out for when it comes to the health of your furnace:

“Something we look for while cleaning homes is dirt and dust build-up on the edges of the carpet. This is a clear indication that the furnace filter needs to be changed. We always inform our clients on what we find, especially this because it can stain the carpet and the dust is not being trapped by a filter.” - Josh Lansdale
